Alumni who studied abroad in Merida, Yucatán often remember the sunny days, speaking Spanish with the locals and Pancho, the night watchman of the Central House. Pancho has retired after 27 years with Central, and he is ready to spend time with his family and have a good night’s sleep.

In conjunction with 2013 Homecoming/Family Weekend, Central College presented alumni awards and an honorary alumni award to two graduates and a longtime staff member with illustrious careers and legacies of service.

We are extremely grateful to the alumni and community that treasure Central and all it has to offer. Thank you to All donors for believing in Central. Central has been the beneficiary of several gifts from generous donors over the past several months. Thanks to these donors, Central has been able to update facilities, work more efficiently and use grants for student initiatives.
